Inovo is excited to be partnering with Endura Mining in the planning and delivery of the construction projects for the Snowy River Gold Mine.

As Project Lead, we've hit the ground at pace at Snowy River, leveraging and integrating the expertise and specialist knowledge of the multi-faceted project team.

Snowy River Gold Mine, located on the West Coast of the South Island is New Zealand’s next large-scale underground mining operation – currently employing over 80 people, which will increase to over 200 when the mine is fully operational. The mine’s main ore body, the Birthday Reef, produced 733,000 ounces of gold over 50 years from the early 1900s. The mining operation is being developed to deliver low-cost production of approximately 60,000 ounces per year with a mine life of over 10 years.  

Here at Inovo we are working together with Rawlinsons Limited  to develop important relationships, tools and processes which can be replicated across ongoing work-streams and further projects.

Auckland’s Plan Change 120 (PC 120) was officially notified this week.

PC120 GIS mapping is now available on Auckland Council’s website.

Some areas have been identified with coastal erosion, coastal inundation or flooding risks. These areas have immediate legal effects under Plan Change 120. Any new development or existing consents being processed by Council must take into consideration of this new plan change. This may mean additional engineering assessments will be required.

Residential areas that are proposed to be rezoned to Single House Zone and Mixed Housing Urban Zone will also have immediate legal effects.

The Inovo Land Development team is keeping a close eye on the Plan Change and potential implications. Let us know if you have any questions.

This week Auckland Council voted to endorse draft Plan Change 120 - Housing Intensification & Resilience and send it out for public consultation. So what does it mean for you?

The key objectives of PC120 are:

• To manage significant risks from natural hazards better. Severe weather events in 2023 highlighted risks of flooding and coastal hazards in some areas.; and
• To manage housing capacity at least to the same amount as under PC78, but adding additional intensification along selected Frequent Transit corridors and modifying zoning in suburban areas through an amended pattern of Residential – Mixed Housing Urban and Mixed Housing Suburban zones.

If you’re planning a development, it’s important to factor in these potential shifts.
 
Our Auckland based Resource Consenting and Land Development Team are making sure they have an in-depth understanding of the implications of the proposed changes and can help you with expert advice, we are always only a call or email away.
